LOS ANGELES — Embattled Los Angeles police Chief Willie Williams received more than $1,500 worth of free accommodations at a Las Vegas hotel, a newspaper reported Friday. The Los Angeles Times, citing a confidential city police commission report, said that on at least one occasion, the accommodations were approved by Henry Gluck, chief executive officer of Caesars World, owner of the Caesars Palace Hotel. According to the Times, receipts from five trips to Caesars Palace showed that Williams and his wife received complimentary services totaling $1,545.37 between 1992 and 1994. Williams has repeatedly denied to police commissioners he sought complimentary accommodations.
